MS Nutrition/MPH versus RD Cert

<p>I am comparing programs at Tufts & BU. Admitted for MS Nutrition & MPH. One program is three years.....BU looks to be 5 if I want to get RD Cert. YIKES</p>

<p>Could anyone here speak to these programs and degree options? What would I sacrifice if I choose the 2.5-3 year option at Tufts where I do the DI and RD Cert later? </p>

<p>Please.......any nutritionists out there?</p>
